Beans beans, the magical fruit

I have had a pretty rough couple of days.  Luke is into mischief and my tolerance level is very low...which is a recipe for disaster.  If you can believe it, this little bean escapade was actually intentional!  Yesterday and today I planned fun activities for us all to do together, that didn't include getting dressed, leaving the house, baking something, or anything having to do with christmas preparations.  It was just what we needed.  I need to remember that messes are sometimes fun, that playing is more important than checking things off the to-do list, and that most of the time Luke is driving me crazy, he's not trying to drive me crazy - he's just trying to have a good time...and I need to get in the spirit and stop being such an old fuddy duddy (thank-you Doris Day).  I'd show you what we did yesterday only we decided to give them as Christmas gifts, so it's going to be a surprise!
